Chapter 1075: 1081

"Mr. Qin, this is the founder of Carlyle investment group. Meet Mr. David Rubinstein, chairman of Carlyle investment group. Carlyle plans to invest at least 2 billion US dollars in China in the next few years, mainly in the field of machinery and heavy industry."

In the ballroom of a hotel in midtown Manhattan.

The time is on the evening of December 19, and the celebration reception of China Telecom's successful listing on NASDAQ is being held here.

Chen Qing introduced David Rubinstein to a senior manager of Telecom. While helping with the translation, Chen Qing patiently accompanied Rubinstein and President Qin to exchange greetings. Chen Qing remembered one thing and asked, "David, what's the progress of Carlyle in Ukraine?"

David Rubinstein nodded and said, "I just sent Simon a message this afternoon about it."

Chen Qingdun next, did not ask more, but intend to ask his boss for documents.

After another chat, Chen Qing and other Rubinstein left and explained to general manager Qin: "I just asked Carlyle about helping import technology from Ukraine to China. General manager Qin, I hope you don't mind." then she lowered her voice slightly: "you know, general manager Qin, the Black Sea shipyard in Ukraine has an aircraft carrier. The state intends to buy it, but there is a lot of resistance. And Carlyle has deep connections in Washington. If they help us, our success rate will be much higher. "

Mr. Qin, who was really dissatisfied with Chen Qing's English conversation with the American just now, immediately shook his head and lowered his voice subconsciously: "of course, I don't mind. It's a big deal."

Chen Qing smiles a little, and then signals not far away: "Mr. Qin, over there is Mr. Helton, President of Nokia America branch. Let me introduce you."

"Of course, I happened to know something about the past events between Mr. westero and Motorola recently. China Telecom is about to start a large-scale expansion. In order to thank Mr. westero for his support for this Telecom listing, we will certainly increase cooperation with Nokia and reduce the purchase of Motorola in the future."

"That's good news. I'll let Simon know as soon as possible. He'll be happy to know."

After the reception ended, Chen Qingcai and Lin Su returned to their residence in the upper west side.

After a busy day, Chen Qing's mood is still high.

After taking a bath and calculating the time difference, it wasn't nine o'clock on the west coast, so I tried to call my boss. I didn't expect to get through unexpectedly. After a few words, I learned that my boss was at the premiere Party of "Thunderbolt baby".

Chen Qing is also concerned about Hollywood. Her boss mentioned it, which reminds me.

Of course, it's just knowing.

Chen Qing doesn't have the energy to pay too much attention now. She confirmed that her boss didn't mean to hang up the phone too soon. So she talked about the general situation of China Telecom's listing today.

Although China Telecom (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., the predecessor of China Mobile, plans to list in Hong Kong and New York at the same time, the listing time in New York is one day ahead of schedule, and Hong Kong is the next day. Of course, if the time difference is calculated, there is only 12 hours between them. The stall where two people talk is about to open in Hong Kong.

Overall, the IPO was very successful.

With the full support of westero system and due to the good feedback from previous global roadshows, the final issue price of new shares issued by China Telecom on NASDAQ is determined to be US $5.35. According to the calculation of 500 million new shares launched in North America, the amount of financing reaches US $2.675 billion. The financing scale in Hong Kong is equivalent to that in North America.

Converted down, China Telecom's listing, the total amount of financing more than 5.3 billion U.S. dollars.

Although the cornerstone investors, such as the major consortia in Hong Kong and Westeros, who have subscribed for a large number of shares at a discount in advance, actually get less capital, the successful completion of the $5 billion level of financing is absolutely a complete victory.

On the first day of listing in North America, because of being labeled as a westero concept stock, and the recent instagram listing, the technology stock market has just been re stimulated. Even as a concept stock, it is hard to avoid a lot of negative reports, China Telecom's stock rose by 27% on the first day, with a closing market value of 26.9 billion US dollars.

At the beginning, westero company and a group of Hong Kong's capital were the cornerstone investors of China Telecom's backing. They invested US $500 million in advance to buy a large number of stocks. According to the discount of these stocks and today's one-day increase, the book profit was close to 50% in just one day.

Of course, profitability is secondary.

For Simon, a 50% one-day appreciation of US $500 million is just a small sum of money. The key is that the success of the IPO paves the way for further cooperation between the two sides.

In any case, the IPO of China Telecom is much better than the previous situation that the IPO almost failed because of catching up with the financial storm, and even the first day burst tragedy happened later. For the same proportion of stocks, the amount of financing increased by nearly 1 billion US dollars.

Quite a happy ending.

After chatting for a while, Chen Qing talks about Carlyle and Ukraine again. Simon hasn't had time to read the document from David Rubinstein, but he also promised Chen Qing to let girl a transfer it to her.A party at a hotel near the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood.

Simon stood in a corner of the hall and talked to Chen Qing on the phone. At last, she said that the team of fashion magazine in China had given a positive reply and said, "I'll say hello to Semel tomorrow. You can do the rest by yourself Go to China? You know I'm definitely not free this time That's it Well, goodbye. "

Hang up the phone, Simon a little comb, also did not continue to care.

After all, it's just a part of its many layouts in China. When China Telecom came to the road show, Simon didn't worry about the follow-up.

She handed her cell phone to the girl next to her and just received a glass of champagne from her assistant. A few girls, led by Elizabeth Jagger, Hula around her nearby, which made Kate Beckinsale obviously depressed.

He rubbed the head of the girl who was more and more graceful. Simon pretended to have a pain in the flesh and said, "every time you have to come to see the premiere like this, there will be a group of people. It's a bit expensive. What can you do?"

Elizabeth was very dissatisfied with Simon's disturbing her hair. She shook her head, shook off his arm and said, "I'm calling your father. Isn't that enough?"

“……”

Elizabeth's eyes turned and she reached out for Nikki Hilton beside her. "Nikki, you too. Call dad."

Nicky Hilton originally looked at the man in front of her with bright eyes. She subconsciously shook her head when she heard the words: "I'm not."

Elizabeth is careless: "I know you like my father, but, you know, men actually like to be called Dad, it will be very exciting."

Nicky is not a little girl who doesn't know anything. Two blushes suddenly appear on her face, and she glances shyly at Simon.

Simon raised his hand to give Elizabeth a chestnut, looked at the girl eat pain to cover the forehead, said: "well, I'll let people drive you out again."

Elizabeth immediately drew back her small expression and looked insincere. She asked, "Dad, do you have any plans for the weekend?"

"Yes, work, and it's not your turn to have no arrangement," Simon said, waving his hand. "Go and play. You can only stay here for half an hour longer. You must go back to your residence before ten o'clock."

"Well, it's heartless and wordy."

Simon turned to the female assistant next to him: "a, help them arrange the car."

Elizabeth immediately covered her ears, pretended not to hear, and frolicked away with a group of girls.

When these girls joined the crowd, Barbara Brockley, the female producer of the 007 series, was the first to come up, raised her glass and said, "Simon, I have to admit that this film is really wonderful."

Simon said with a smile: "it seems that you think" baby thunderbolt "is qualified to interact with 007, right?"

Barbara Brockley immediately complained, "can I say no?"

"I'm sorry, I can't. Moreover, just talking about the 007 ghost party, the fact has proved that the plan I gave is a wise choice. "

Although Barbara Brockley didn't agree, she had already accepted a man's statement.

After half a year's release of "007's ghost party" in summer, the global box office has exceeded 750 million US dollars. Even if the inflation factor is calculated, this movie is more than any other movie in the 007 series. You know, after calculating the inflation factor, the most successful movie "007's thunderbolt bomb" before, according to the 1996 standard, the global box office is only $680 million.

What's more, after watching "baby thunderbolt" today, and the success of the DC movie universe series and the evocation movie universe series, Barbara Brockley is also full of expectations for planning the equally grand spy movie universe series.

The main thing is that "baby thunderbolt" is really excellent.

First of all, the three heroines, Kate Beckinsale, Macon Amick and Catherine Zeta Jones, not only have their own characteristics, but also have their own vivid characters, which completely surpasses the shackles of the TV drama version, whether it is Kate Beckinsale's fierce fighting ability or Macon Amick's top female shooter Even Catherine Zeta Jones's wisdom and responsibility as a burglar are very impressive.

Secondly, although the beginning of this series is still a high concept story routine, which roughly tells the story of three angels accidentally involved in a huge human trafficking network and destroyed it through a hostage rescue incident, many of them, such as Kate Beckinsale's Restaurant fight scene, Macon Amick hitting an impact point at the same time, hitting through the wall, and Cather Lynn Zeta Jones's crossing the infrared warning network and so on are all full of innovation.

Finally, the opening of the film also makes a perfect preparation for the fusion of the spy film universe.

The human trafficking network destroyed by the three angels is one of the huge industries of the ghost party. Therefore, in the end of the carnival, the ghost party not only comes to the door, but also many details of the story are easy to find. Even Charlie behind the three angels may have countless ties with the ghost party.As for the positive or negative connection, we can only wait for the follow-up announcement.

With that in mind, Barbara Brockley couldn't help asking, "Simon, after 007 and baby thunderbolt, which project does MGM plan to develop next, spy film?"

"Espionage is still a little early, at least 007 and breakie will have another sequel, so I will consider other series."

Barbara Brockley didn't know for a moment whether she was lucky or sorry: "it seems that I'm going to speed up the development of the next 007."

Because of some schedule, MGM chose to premiere on Thursday the day before the large-scale painting. However, the next day, the public praise and popularity of "baby thunderbolt" were rapidly growing. In addition, the secret agent movie space plan, which was once again confirmed through the film, was also on the rise. For a moment, the secret agent movie fans cheered, and other Hollywood studios were once again faced with the enemy.

The two film universe series have occupied a large fixed market share. Now, another one, how can we not let everyone's pressure multiply.

What's more, the final 8.2 comprehensive media score of the "Thunderbolt baby" series is higher than last week's "game of the brave".

With December 20's "baby thunderbolt" opened in North America with 3136 screens, it is the box office data of the first week of the Christmas season that has just finished a week's attention.

During the first week of Christmas from December 13 to December 19, the game of the brave has no suspense. The box office of the first week is 63.35 million US dollars, the opening scale of 3539 screens, and the average of 17900 US dollars. Even if it can't be compared with wonder woman 2, it still perfectly meets the expectations of the two producers.

In the first week, it broke through 60 million US dollars. Not surprisingly, game of the brave basically locked in 200 million US dollars at the box office.

The production cost of the game of the brave is $82 million, and the publicity investment is $35 million, totaling $117 million. Therefore, the project is expected to recover the full cost and enter the profit cycle.

Second on the list is wonder woman 2.

Despite the impact of game of the brave, wonder woman 2's box office decline this week is still only 35% due to its return to the popular Christmas season. Of course, carefully speaking, this is still a very high decline, because in previous years, when many films entered the Christmas season at the end of the year, they even went against the trend.

In any case, in the fourth week of release, "wonder woman 2" continued to earn $38.81 million, with a cumulative box office of $353.11 million.

The third place is mind catcher.

This once in the "Titanic" crush is still a dazzling box office drama, this time still shows the dark horse posture.

In the first week of large-scale release, "the catcher of the soul" only relied on 1746 screens, and the revenue was as high as $23.92 million, with an average of $13700. Compared with the theme and size of the film, this is almost a small miracle. Taking last week's screening into account, the total box office of "mind catcher" reached 29.35 million US dollars in two weeks.

The total investment in the production and promotion of the film is only 20 million US dollars. No surprise, it will be able to recover the full cost and make a profit next week. After the first week of large-scale opening, gaomen film also made a rapid response, in the new week, increasing the number of screens to 2125.

The most direct consequence of the three big movies with Denise entertainment is the dismal opening of the other two large-scale opening movies last week.

"Jingle all the way", a family comedy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, ranked fourth in the list, grossed only $12.17 million in the first week. The production cost of $30 million was three times that of "the catcher of the soul", but only half that of "the catcher of the soul". Under such a start, the local box office of the film is expected to be only US $30 million to US $40 million, and the producer fox can only expect overseas and surrounding enterprises to recover the cost. Schwarzenegger took the initiative to cut his salary by half, and the share contract attached to it basically became a piece of waste paper.

The fifth place Disney produced the black comedy Angel bodyguard, which costs 40 million US dollars more than jingle all the way. The box office in the first week didn't even break 10 million US dollars, and the revenue in seven days was only 9.69 million US dollars, which is even worse.

Finally, it should be mentioned that "the British patient", which was screened in Los Angeles last week on a scale of 10 screens, has not only won praise from critics in terms of word-of-mouth, but also achieved an average of $49000 per week for small-scale screening, basically following Simon's prize charging route.

December 20.

In the new box office week, in addition to the menacing "baby thunderbolt", this week also started painting with an animated film "wimps and bigheads" from paramount and Madonna's "Mrs. Baron".

There is no need to say more about "Thunderbolt baby".

"Shriveled four and big head egg" is a film version of a popular serial animation adapted by paramount. It has a 2D style and painting style similar to "The Simpsons", which is simply a cannon fodder.

"Mrs. Baron" by Queen McGregor is a point show.Although she has won a series of Golden Globe nominations and the queen has also received endorsement from Simon, paramount still adopts this rather conservative release strategy in order to avoid the crush of many strong films at the end of the year, and even plans to continue the screening next new year's week until the end of the year.

In addition, this week's "British patient" is still on demand, but the screening scale has increased from 10 screens last week to 27, and it is planned to start next week..
